Phone rings, baby cries, TV diet guru lies
Good morning honey
Go to work, make-up, try to keep the balance up
Between love and money
Chorus:
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's tryin' to make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl
An American girl
Slow dance, second chance, mama needs romance
And an live-in maid
Fix the sink, mow the yard, really isn't all that hard
If you get paid
CHORUS
Well she's got her God and she's got good wine
Aretha Franklin and Patsy Cline
